Re:Solaris 10 for x86 is free .....

I did try it a couple of years ago and the hardware support was extremely limited. I couldn&#039;t get it fully installed on several different setups. It might have improved since, but I still have no intention spending any time on it. I don&#039;t see any benefit using Solaris vs. BSD or Linux.

Re:Solaris 10 for x86 is free .....

Well, one good thing about Solaris 10 is that they may offer 64 bits version of it. So it may as well be the first stable 64 unix for x86 since they have much more experience with developing sparc64 platform. Worth a try if you are going 64 bits route. Plus, working knowledge of Solaris is very nice on your resume and employability.

Re:Solaris 10 for x86 is free .....

Has anyone heard of any projects to get linux style hadware support added? Once that occurs I would try it asgain. 8.0 sucked since I had no support period, no VGA, sounc, LAN. Just crappy cga 4 color.
